Tammy Maas assumes command of the Wyoming Army National Guard

(Cheyenne, Wyo.) - In a change of command ceremony held this afternoon at
Wyoming Army National Guard's Joint Forces Readiness Center, Col. Tammy
Maas was promoted to brigadier general, May 5.
Following the retirement of Brig. Gen. Steve Mount after serving
approximately 40 years, Col. Maas assumed command of the Wyoming Army
National Guard in a ceremony held in front of her family and friends, Gov.
Matt Mead, and many state officials.
"I can say with a high degree of confidence, we have the best Guard in this
country," Gov. Mead said. "There's a number of reasons, one, is that
Wyoming is a patriotic state, our citizens support our military...another
reason our Guard is the best is the families. We would not have the Guard
we have without the amazing support of our families."
As the assistant adjunct general - Army, for the Wyoming National Guard,
Maas will oversee the mission and people in the roughly 1,600-member force.
"The number one task I am charged with is to achieve peak readiness of our
port, and a key component of that readiness is to increase our strength,"
Maas said. "I solicit your support in this endeavor and ask you to
encourage our young people to value our military service as a career
choice, we really need young people in our ranks."
Maas previously served as the Wyoming Army National Guard Chief of Staff,
and has been a member with the Guard since 1989, now the second female Army
Commander in four years to assume command.
